Editing these photos just now has filled me with such longing for this beautifully desolate area of the country. I don’t think there’s really anything else I can say about Dungeness which has been said by a thousand other people – it’s stark, it’s barren, it feels like the end of the world. I loved … More Let’s go to Dungeness
We like staying in weird places. In the past few years, we’ve stayed in a Pineapple, a 200 year old fort, and a 16th century Scottish tower house. So when looking for somewhere to stay for our winter mini-break, I typed various synonyms for “quirky” into Google to see what I could find. And I … More Fog Signal Building, Dungeness
Good lord, what a wash out. October started fine, but ended with me bedridden for an entire week with a mystery virus which I’m still trying to get over. Nice. Little Lord Stinky Butt Over the course of a few weeks, we’ve had an adorable vulpine visitor to the garden. He set up house for … More October Things
Two years ago, almost to the day, we went on the most amazing tour of the Southbank Centre. It involved donning high vis vests to visit closed off spaces and I loved it – an absolute highlight of 2015. I can’t even remember why I was on the Southbank Centre website a few weeks back, … More Touring the South Bank
The last week of September was pretty insane. There were a couple of days where I clocked in 11 hours at work and when I wasn’t in the office, I was asleep. It always is madness at the start of semester, so goodness knows why I arranged two things to do in London. I’m clearly … More Richard Ayoade and Adam Buxton
There has been a distinct lack of posts this month, due to the fact that in my industry, September is crazy times. That’s not to say it’s been all work and no fun and there were two particularly awesome things I did which I haven’t had a chance to blog about which I’ll briefly mention. … More September Things
August is birthday month in the Untold Blisses household. And what do birthdays mean? A trip to the… Celtic Manor! Our new birthday tradition – a trip to my favourite UK hotel which this year included afternoon tea, a trip to the spa, and much booze. WIN. We bought a car I adore my car. … More August Things
Edit: Well, as of the end of July 2018, all of this is irrelevant. Sephora have decided to re-direct UK visitors to their French site, and block us from shopping on the US site. They’re blaming GDPR which is nonsense – they’re either collecting data they shouldn’t or are just plain lazy to figure out EU … More Ordering Sephora from the UK
I don’t quite know how I managed it, but I convinced Husband to go to the Celtic Manor for his birthday this year. We visited a lot last year – it felt like every time they emailed with a special offer, we booked up, and we even spent our anniversary there. To say I’ve become … More Happy birthday in a hot bath
For someone with only two wrists, I sure do have a lot of Mr Jones Watches. I wrote about number one here. And numbers two and three here. Covered off four, five, and six on one busy day last year. Quickly followed up with number seven. It seems very fitting that 2017 has been the year … More Happy (belated) birthday, Mr Jones Watches
